'''Johnny Leoni''' (born 30 June 1984) is a Swiss former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

==Career==
Leoni joined [[FC Zürich]] in May 2003, but did not become their first-choice keeper until the [[2005–06 Swiss Super League|2005–06 season]] when he took over from [[Davide Taini]].

He saved three penalty kicks in the [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shootout]] in the [[Single-elimination tournament|quarterfinal]] of the [[Swiss Cup]] against [[FC Aarau]].

His achievements were noticed by [[Ottmar Hitzfeld]] and he was included in four squads for the [[Switzerland national football team|Swiss national team]] without making an appearance. Leoni earned his first cap for the Swiss on 10 August 2011 after coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 win over [[Liechtenstein national football team|Liechtenstein]] in a [[friendly match]]. He had previously been part of their [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] squad but did not feature.

Leoni joined [[AC Omonia]] for the 2012–13 season after he agreed terms with the club in the January transfer window. He commented that, in order to join Omonia, he sacrificed a position in the national team of Switzerland. He played three matches in the league and two matches in the [[UEFA Europa League]]. He also won the Supercup of Cyprus.

In February 2013 Leoni joined [[Azerbaijan Premier League]] side [[Neftchi Baku PFC|Neftchi Baku]] on loan till the end of the season.
